Bulk Rinse Plant Wash

Tim,

Absolutely. The label calls for one ounce per gallon of water. I'd start at one ounce per two gallons.

Tim there are several guys that are bulk plant washing now. We got a little 15 gallon tank with a 2 gallon per minute Delvon from Harbor freight and pulling around the wagon at some jobs.

You can do it but it is a pain to clear the tank if you need to use it to rinse the house. It took a long time to clear and eventually I had to remove the drain plug to rinse it totally out.

I put a x-jet at the end of the hose of the booster pump. (I use a chem hose) Use 4 scoops of plant wash in an old plant was jug. Its great to tool and can wash the plant right as you are finish that section no back tracking.

Thanks I will order one and give it a try. We are doing more bigger homes and this will speed things up. Anything special I should order with it?

I use the same gun handel as my chem sprayer. I use the x-jet with the hand adjustable end. I think they make ones that can handel high volume. The one i have is left over from my pressure washing days but seems to work well. I use it for bleach wash as well just dose not shoot as high as just the booster. Been flying though jobs with not one leave of damage. Even on sidwalks!

I'd definitely be interested in that as well - sweet idea...

Please see the attached photos. 1st is the booster pump on top of the buffer tank that is hooked to the hose real. 2ed photo is the x-jet and the trigger gun. I also use a 4 banger for the rinsing.

I use the chemical hose & hose real that was left over from my first fat boy roof cleaning set up. It is a great hose for the booster pump and it is very hard to kink. Just too expensive.

Looks like a downstream setup instead of an xjet? Regardless of what it is its an excellent idea.
